<p id=”par-9_26″>The controversial rapper was also in the stands with Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin as Team France and Team Germany faced off in Thursday’s other semi-final game. </p>
<p id=”par-10_25″>Scott’s recent arrest comes a little more than a month after he was arrested on charges of disorderly intoxication and trespass of property in Miami.</p>
<p id=”par-11_72″>On June 20, police responded to reports of a disturbance at the Miami Beach Marina. They found Scott standing by the dock and “yelling” at people on a nearby yacht. Officers reported that he had a strong smell of alcohol on his breath. Scott’s erratic disorderly behavior led police to arrest him. According to E! News, the disorderly intoxication charge was later dropped, though he is still facing a misdemeanor trespassing charge. </p>
